She's The Boss

9.

Several minutes later… .

"Dinner is ready… . " Lena announced.

The DBSK boys happily sat down and were all amazed with the different dishes that Lena had prepared.

"Wow! How did you cook all of this in such a short time?" Max asked still unable to believe the different dished he was seeing.

Lena just smiled. She was very happy that the DBSK boys liked the foods she had prepared.

"Oh… . I didn't tell you guys… . But during the time I was just learning how to cook… . she was already an expert in the kitchen. So her cooking skills are way better than me," Jaejoong said as a compliment for Lena.

"Really? Then she must be really good then," Xiah said with a smile.

"Come on… . Let's all eat. I can hardly wait," Max said.

The other DBSK boys laughed. Max was really over excited and was very eager to start eating.

AS soon as the boys tasted Lena's cooking, they immediately showered her with praises.

"Lena… this is just… this is totally delicious," Micky commented.

"Hyung, wasn't kidding when he said that you're better than him," Max said while still trying to choose what dish to try next.

"The man you're going to marry is sure very lucky," U-Know said with a smile.

Lena just smiled at U-Know. She didn't know how to respond to what he had said.

"How long are you staying in Japan?" Xiah suddenly asked.

"Why?" Lena asked quite confused.

"Because… . if you're going to stay long here in Japan… . then that means we will be able to invite you again… . and then maybe… . you can find it in your heart… . to cook for us again," Xiah said with a very sweet smile.

Lena suddenly laughed. "Yeah… . sure. Don't worry… I'll cook for you guys again next time I come here."

"Really?" So when are you coming here again?" Max asked with a grin.

Lena laughed again. "I don't know. But don't worry… I'll be coming here again. I will visit you guys whenever I am free."

"That's great," Xiah said with a smile.

"Hey… . Lena just shows up and you guys are already in love with her cooking? Don't you want me to cook for you guys anymore? You're all hurting my feelings," Jaejoong said with a smile.

Lena stared at Jaejoong, then she smiled. She had been missing him for over a year now. The last time they were together, she was already planning to tell him everything. But then something happened… . and she wasn't able to confess.

Now as she looked at him, she knew this time… . she had to tell him… . everything. Her time was running out… . and there was no way for her to escape what had already been set for her.

Lena suddenly let out a long sigh. She didn't know how to tell him… . or if she should tell him. She was really confused on what to do.

Jaejoong noticed Lena as she silently stared at him. He knew that something was bothering her.

"What's wrong?" he asked Lena.

Lena who was still busy thinking was suddenly caught by surprise.

"Huh? Oh… . nothing… . I was just thinking of something," she replied.

"These foods are amazing! I can eat all of these in just one sitting," Max exclaimed.

The other DBSK boys laughed. Then all of a sudden… . they started to hear a ringing tone from a cell phone.

"Whose cell phone is ringing?" Micky asked.

"I think it's mine… . " Lena said as she hurriedly went to her bag and took out her phone.

Jaejoong looked at Lena. He saw the worried look on her face as soon as her phone started ringing.

"Who do you think it is?" Micky asked Jaejoong.

"I have no idea… . " Jaejoong answered while still staring at Lena.

"Hello… ." Lena said in Japanese.

"How many times do I have to tell you that you're not supposed to go out alone? You're new here in Japan… . and yet you have the courage to just go anywhere you please. What if something suddenly happened to you? What will I say to your father? And to my father?," a male voice said with anger.

Lena was suddenly became very worried. All the DBSK boys noticed the sudden change in Lena's expression. They knew that something was wrong.

"Where are you?" the man asked again.

"I… I am with Jaejoong. I brought the package her mother sent," she answered again in Japanese.

Jaejoong was very surprised. He didn't know that Lena knew how to speak Japanese.

"Just as I suspected… . I told you to wait for me. I told you I was going to bring you there tomorrow… ." the man said again.

"I am sorry… ." Lena said in a very low voice. It was as if she was already about to cry.

Jaejoong was suddenly curious as to who Lena was speaking to. He didn't like the fact that Lena was being upset because of the person on the phone.

"Just wait for me there… . I am already on the way… ." the man said again.

"Daichi… ." Lena softly uttered. She wanted to say something, but he had already closed his phone.

Lena felt like her world was really closing in on her. She stared at Jaejoong who had a curious look on his face. She knew he wanted to ask… . but she was still trying to decide whether to tell him or not, all the things he needed to know.

"Lena… ." Jaejoong uttered her name.

Lena tried to smile. "I'm sorry, but I have to go," she said as she quickly grabbed her bag.

"Who was that on the phone?" Micky asked.

Lena looked at Micky. "Sorry… . but I have to go," she said again so to avoid answering Micky's question.

The DBSK boys suddenly noticed Lena's reluctance to answer Micky's question. And they all saw the sadness in her eyes as she started to prepare to leave

As she was about to leave… .

"I'll walk you downstairs… ." Jaejoong said.

Lena just nodded. She was very sad. She wanted to be with him a little while longer. She had missed him for over a year. And now that he was finally near her… . it was as if she no longer wanted to be away from him.

"We're all coming too," Max said with a smile.

Lena looked at the other DBSK members. She suddenly felt very sorry that she was going to leave already. She smiled at Max. "Thank you… ." she uttered.

The boys walked with Lena until they reached the front of the apartment building.

"Here we are… ." Micky said with a big smile.

"Thanks… " she replied.

"It's the least thing we can do after you cooked a wonderful meal for us," Max said with a smile as well.

"Don't worry… . Next time, I'll make sure I cook something more delicious and extra special," Lena said.

"Really? That would be great… . I'll be waiting for that okay?" Max said as he smiled sweetly at Lena.

"When are you visiting me again?" Jaejoong suddenly asked with a soft look in his eyes. Somehow he also didn't want Lena to leave him all of a sudden.

"I don't know… . But I will try to visit you again… . if time permits… and if… ." she said, but then something suddenly attracted her attention.

Suddenly a silver Porsche Carrera GT stopped in front of the apartment building. The DBSK boys were immediately attracted to the car.

"Wow! I've never seen a car like that before," Max said excitedly.

"It must be very expensive. I am wondering when I can ever own one like that," Xiah said with a sigh.

"I wonder who it belongs to… ." Jaejoong said.

"It must be here to pick up someone… . ." U-Know said.

Then the owner of the car suddenly stepped out of the car. It was a young Japanese man, quite good-looking and about more than 25 years old, 6'0 tall, and obviously very rich with his custom-made suit.

The man walked straight up to where the DBSK boys and Lena were. Then he suddenly stopped right in front of them.

"Lena… .Let's go… . " he said coldly as he stared at the DBSK boys. He was obviously angry.

"Daichi… ." Lena uttered.

"Let's go… ." the man said again. This time with a very firm hard tone.

Lena just looked at Jaejoong helplessly. "Goodbye… .maybe I can visit you again." she said with sadness in her eyes.

Jaejoong wanted to ask her who the guy was. But he knew it wasn't the right time. So he just nodded as Lena said goodbye and she silently followed him into the car.
